Allplan Bridge 2020
With Allplan Engineering 2020, we offer you a future-oriented BIM solution for engineers. The software is characterized by high performance, especially in the area of cross-team collaboration, and thus contributes to greater efficiency and productivity in day-to-day work. The openBIM approach supports smooth, interdisciplinary cooperation with project partners. There are various improvements for engineers, including views and sections, reinforcement and country-specific adaptations. There are also new features in the area of steel construction and structural analysis for bridge construction.
Advantages of the Allplan Bridge Solution
Model creation without compromise
Allplan Bridge has been developed by recognized bridge experts. The 3D parametric model description considers the road layout, bridge alignment and required cross-sections, making model configuration quick and efficient. Complex geometries including double-curved alignment and variable cross-sections can be created easily. The user only needs to define typical cross-sections and Allplan Bridge will accurately calculate all cross-section variants in accordance with the defined table(s) or/and formula(s).
Prestressing made simple
Allplan Bridge makes it easy to model a wide range of types of pre-stressing: with immediate or later bond, internal and external, longitudinal, transverse and vertical, as well as with non-standard geometry. Based on user-defined 3D points, the program automatically generates the geometry of a tendon along the bridge structure.
Planning stressing sequences in Allplan Bridge
A stressing sequence can be defined for each tendon specified in the model. Stressing, wedge slip, and releasing are available actions. These actions are carried out at the begin of the tendon, at the end, or at both sides simultaneously. To optimize the management of tendon stressing, the sequences of stressing actions are stored as named “stress groups.
Smooth data exchange
Integrating road data used for road/bridge alignment is easily achieved via Allplan’s open BIM platform Bimplus. The bridge engineer must only take over the road data and can immediately start with the bridge design. Once the design is completed, the parametric model can be transferred in Allplan Engineering and to analysis software.
Referencing standard profiles
Standardized and repeatedly arranged cross-section parts such as longitudinal stiffeners in steel and composite sections can be easily placed.
Integration of the fourth dimension
The time as fourth dimension is considered when specifying the construction process. Amongst other things it is possible to define and compare different schedules for the same bridge structure.
Technical preview - Analysis: Calculation of cross section values
The calculation of cross-section values is an essential step in the generation of an analysis model. The calculation supports all types of sections with an arbitrary geometry.
Save time with parametric object placement
Objects from the Allplan Engineering library can be referenced in Allplan Bridge 2019 to add further details such as lamp posts or anchor devices of tendons to the bridge model.
Convenient operation
Unique parametric control enables quick and efficient management of the inevitable changes that occur during the design process saving both time and money. Working with Allplan Bridge is very convenient and specifically tailored to the requirements of bridge engineering.
Changes made in no time at all
Allplan Bridge helps you to manage the inevitable changes that occur during the design process. The parametric model description is an ideal base for adapting design changes. The modifications are incorporated only at their origin and all other linked members are automatically updated.
Intelligent Database
Allplan Bridge benefits from a built-in database that is continuously logging modifications as the project progresses. This ensures that the input is never lost.
From model to time planning
The parametric bridge model generated in Allplan Bridge can be subdivided into individual construction elements. These can be transferred to Allplan Bimplus and linked with time-specific attributes.
